Abstract
The echographic characterization of tissue is open to three different biophysical approaches:
-
1.
The analysis of the radio-frequency signal (RF-signal)
-
2.
The analysis of the video-A signal
-
3.
The analysis of the B-scan
A hardware-software system for the acquisition and evaluation of ultrasonic data was developed in our institute. This system permitted the quantitative analysis of a series of A-scans by means of distinct statistical parameter sets leading to the differentiation of normal tissue from cirrhotic and metastatic liver [1,3].
